No licking and privacy tinted just what I need in an envelope. I don't mail a lot but when I do I want it to be private so this product is perfect for that and not having to lick a nasty envelope is an added bonus.
I think these are awesome! I HATE having to lick envelopes closed and these you don't have too. I also like that they aren't thin and you can't see into the envelope to see what's inside. You have security knowing that when you mail this document or letter it's secure from not only the seal but because it's not transparent. I work in an industry where you always have to maintain confidentality at all cost. With the environment we have to protect our information and this envelope helps. It's another barrier of protection. I would certainly recommend this product.
These envelopes are the sturdiest envelopes I have used. They are perfect for mailing important documents or a check because of the privacy tint and durability. The 4 1/8 x 9 1/2 inch envelope is in fact tear resistant which I had some doubts about. I started by using my thumb and index finder to tear and nothing happened. I ended up using two hands and all my strength to rip the envelope and it still did not tear! The attached photo demonstrates all 4 sides attempted to be torn and is enclosed with a piece of paper with bold black lettering typed on it. The envelope also has a peel-and-stick tab on the back so no licking is required to seal.
I am not a person who is well versed in the art of mail so I didn't really know what to expect. After trying it I was extremely impressed. They are not kidding when they say tear resistant. I tried to rip it apart for a solid 5 minutes to no prevail. The description had also mentioned a privacy tint feature so I put a colorful document in the envelope and it was extremely effective. I couldn't see through the envelope at all. The size and look of the envelope is traditional so it is perfect for most standard letters and documents. It also comes 100 to a box so you get enough to last a while. I also like how easy it was to seal with the adhesive strip. I hate licking envelopes. The one thing I will say is personally I don't physically mail many things out these days but my parents tried them out and were in love so if you mail private documents then these worked great and I strongly recommend them.
Before receiving these envelopes I wanted to know how durable they were and how confidential what I was mailing would remain the description lived up to my expectations. I like these peel and seal envelopes. It's easy to insert and fit your papers. I mailed up to 11 sheets of paper and the glued sides held up well without ripping or tearing. Very thick and I even tried to rip it in half with my bare hands and could not. I felt safe mailing checks because of the blue interior pattern. Would definitely purchase these. They are also very easy to close as well. I am very happy with this product!!!
Any envelope that I don't have to lick is a plus in my book. Ha! The material isn't cheap and flimsy feeling. I did try tearing it but I just did these nails of mine and it's not worth it. Don't try tearing it if you just had your nails done you'll lose. Made a mistake? Just don't bother ripping it up. Throw it out. Overall good product.
I think that this product is really good. It cannot be ripped and the peel away closing system is really helpful and good for the elderly. I would want to know how much this product would cost before I got it. If I am going to send an important document or just a letter to a friend I will definitely be using these.
I was pleasantly surprised by these envelopes! Not only to they deliver on their promise of being tear-resistant (the whole family tried to tear the same envelop with no success) but they also come with the super easy peel and stick closures. No more licking yucky glue to close your envelops these have you covered!
